Janina San Miguel became a controversial after winning the Bb. Pilipinas 2008 Pageant. The reason why.. Below is a transcript of the Q and A portion after she was included as one of the final four:
Paolo Bediones: Janina, how are you?
Janina san Miguel: Im fine.
Paolo Bediones: Alright, so you won two of the major awards--Best in Long Gown, Best in Swimsuit. Do you feel any pressure right now?Janina San Miguel: No, i dont feel feel any pressure right now.
Paolo Bediones: Confident! Alright! Please choose a name of the judge
Paolo Bediones: We have Miss Vivienne Tan
Viviene Tan: Good Evening.
Janina san Miguel: Good Evening.
Viviene Tan: The question is, what role did your family play to you as candidate to Binibining Pilipinas?
Janina San Miguel: Well, my family's role for me is so important b'coz there was the wa- they're, they was the one who's... very... Hahahaha.. Oh, I'm so sorry, Ahmmm... My pamily.. My family.. Oh my God... Ok, Im so sorry. I told you that im so confident... Eto... Ahm, Wait...

i was able to watch this pageant and the portion that i have started watching is when the top 10 were chosen to be asked by the panels...
when Janina San Miguel was called, she really looked sooo confident and i didnt mind her diction at all as long as she showed herself as confident as she can for that is what most judges look out for.. right?
after being asked, i was so shocked by what she answered. all what she did was to say sorry and laugh and during the coronation, i jokingly blurted out that her number will be called and it was true! i was like "what?? she won???? how come?"
i just couldnt believe it. if she was intelligent to answer the question with sense and during her swimsuit and gown thingy event she slipped on the floor and stood up still looking very confident, i would choose her to be one of the winners.. i was expecting two other girls who answered the questions intelligently but one of them got chosen..
the judging was really confusing because every pageant must not only have the beauty but also the INTELLIGENCE. beauty and brains is one big package. ive heard other contestants who has good answers and it is so unbelievable that she was chosen.. did she get the ms international award or was it miss world?? my gosh.. that would be a shame for our country.. the more other countries will look down to us filipinos and it is not a good news. if their reason for choosing her just because she managed to continue answering the question eventhough she got mental blocked doesnt mean they must show consideration to that..
man! whats wrong with them! haha.. now she became a laughing icon not just in the Philippines but all around the word..

I did not watch the whole pageant. My sister told me about it and gave me the youtube link of the QandA portion of Janina. I was so surprised after watching it. What on earth was the judges criterion of giving her the title of Ms Philippines World. My sister then told me that she won two major awards, maybe those had big points of her winning the title. Thanks for sharing..

She was no worse then the United States one Miss South Carolina with the kids in China making maps for the Iraq.
Just more proof that if you are beautiful you don't need brains.

I havent watch the pageant you have mentioned. Its quite confusing sometimes the criteria on beauty pageant. Some arises controversy and questions from the public. Organizers should be more careful in selecting the judges and must have a clear criteria. I didnt say she is no brainy because her english skill isnt good, its just that her answer to the question is quite far off. Just wish her luck for the coming international pageant she'll represent our country.
